MNF's Return After A Decade

After the recent elections, Mizo National Front (MNF) has been endowed with the responsibility to look into the issues of the tribal State. Putting an end to the 10-year rule of Congress, MNF stood strong with 26 seats (65% of the total seats), and containing Congress to five seats, from the former 34 seats. MNF has returned to power in Mizoram after a decade, which saw the crumbling of the last Congress bastion in the Northeast.

Former Congress CM Lal Thanhawla accepted that his party failed to analyze the power of MNF and that introspection is necessary for his party in the State. However he didn’t comment on his personal loss from both the seats in Champhai South and Serchhip. The 76-year-old Congress leader has been ruling the State since December 2008. In the 2013 Assembly Elections, he became Chief Minister for the fifth time, a record in Mizoram.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS

People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
